To me, the confluence of cultures

is fascinating in Singapore — yet it somehow maintains a unique Singaporean identity. So much amazing cuisine and really cool attractions like Botanical Gardens, Cloud Forest and Supertrees.

Those affordable food stalls, megamalls at every turn, and pristine setting certainly stand out in that region.

Machu Picchu lives up to expectations. Loved it.

Archaea

I’m so envious. I’ve always wanted to go to Machu Picchu. Loved Florence though!

7/23/21 6:47pm

If you go to Florence, you gotta get the 4.5 pound Florentine steak. One of my all-time favorite meals.
